eolica lion The role of motherhood first began with our spiritual mother Eve, Who through the power of God Himself was given the grace to conceive. iTwas Eve who first experienced true joyithe rewarding birth of a child, Whom she could cradle as she assumed the role of a mother mild. In the midst of this great joy the shadow of hate appeared, When Cain so brutally killed Abel; but Eveis torn heart persevered. With the passing of time this shadow remained ; it entered men,s lives to stay. But joy returned when an angel of the Lord had a message to convey. The angel heard a maiden say, itBe it done to me according to Thy word? The privilege of bearing the Son of God to this Virgin was conferred. But again the despicable shadow of hate overswept this dark earth. They crucified her only Somethese men of loathsome mirth. As death encompassed His beaten body, she stood beneath the Cross. Her tears were drops of blood from His head, which a crown of thorns embossed. As she cradled His body, she felt the anguish only a mother can know. Her Divine Son was sacrificed so that the world in love might grow. Yet, in this present day and age, ironic though it may be, This same maternal strength was shown by Mrs. John F . Kennedy. She gently stroked her husbands brow and cradled his bleeding head. She, too, held a sacrifice whose blood for the nation was shed. Day by day in this modern world the picture is still the same. We have heroic young mothers who are not in the hall of fame. From our births they have cradled us in times of joy and sorrow, And guided us with tenderness into the shadows of the morrow. They serve as faithful companions in times of grief and stress. So now our own dear mothers we ask the Lord to bless. Thus, we, the Class of 364, with extreme pride and victory, Dedicate this yearbook to our mothersethe unsung heroines of history.
